  1. This ^^^^^ I legit just came here after seeing someone in a FB group post a fresh 9.8 sig series that was slabbed upside down. How does that get out the door?! Lots of QC horror stories have been popping up since the private signings started to ramp up. I commend CGC for coordinating these and giving collectors something to get excited about while shows are on hiatus, but it's very clear they aren't prepared to handle the volume they're doing at the TAT's they're promising. I also just received my JSC books and one of them came back with a "bonus" color-breaking spine tick that wasn't there when I sent it in, and of course right on the one small swatch of black. Easy 9.8 became a 9.6. It's a low monetary value book, but one I wanted for my PC nonetheless. I had been sitting on a few copies for a couple of years waiting for a chance to get one signed, so thanks CGC. (Also could not have been damaged in transit; I subbed multiple books and the way they were packed it wouldn't be possible for only one to have this kind of damage). I've been building up a box of blue label subs and was waiting to send them in until the private signing rush died down a bit and TAT got better, but now I'm debating where they're even being sent.
  2. Yikes! I definitely misread the thread, I think because the same person responded to both and I totally mixed them up What I was actually curious about is this: In my case it's more a question of remarque options/etiquette. I think I'm going to roll the dice and leave a note politely asking. Worst case it comes back with just a sig
  3. Curious about this, and remarque requests as well. I've seen some remarques in other signings, and there's a video of Crain doing a sketch cover. Not sure if this was an option for certain subs or just done at the artists's discretion if someone left a spot open and with a note on the tape/bag? Would love to shoot my shot with JSC on a remarque.
  4. Looks like it happened quietly? Shawn Kirkham at Skybound was even surprised to hear it on this month's Comics Vault livestream. Bummer to see, given the JSC announcement. Would've loved the Michonne label on my TWD 19 15th variants.
  5. Hey all First post, and relatively new to the graded comic scene. Wondering if anyone uses/has used the BCW Graded Polypropylene bags? I know Mylar bags are the gold standard as with ungraded books, but curious about these regardless. I'm assuming quality and clarity would be the same as with a regular bag and board setup, but would love to hear thoughts from anyone who has used.
